Re: NYC Transit Forums Hacked by Anonymous!

Someone might want to pass along an article I wrote last year about how to prevent this to the webmeisters over there. They should pay particular attention to the links provided on how to keep the ne'er-do-wells out of their databases. If they got pwned by anon, those kids aren't too bright and used script kiddie tools to get in. This article, and particularly the information I point to at Sans Institute will stop it from happening again ...

In more ways than one. Even given the decentralized, leaderless nature of the group, the things they do are bafflingly contradictory. What's the point of attacking an anti-pornography group while stealing data from pornsites? Oh yeah, right, all this "hacktivism" is 4 the lulz.

Re: NYC Transit Forums Hacked by Anonymous!

If you're the admin of the website, just grab your web blogs, note the time of the attack and then forward it over to the FBI's IC3 (Internet Crimes Complaint Center). They're gonna take it from there.

A gaming site I ran awhile back got hacked by some hacker group (way before the anonymous movement). Luckily we had witnesses on our Teamspeak server at the time of the attack. They hijacked the server first, then went after the site. We got caught the guy who did it since he left a major trail of evidence behind and we then turned him in. As long as you have some sort of records available then you're good to go. If your server got wiped, then contact your web hosting provider for the info.
